CAVS-E's Travis Hill was recently presented with the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) Outstanding Practitioner Award. This award recognized Hill for his excellence in the practice and application of Modeling and Simulation.
As a senior engineering project manager for CAVS-E, Hill has worked with more than 100 companies over the past 20 years, such as Nissan North America, Toyota, FedEx, Viking Range, Northrop Grumman, VT Halter Marine, and Navistar Defense, to help improve their manufacturing and logistics systems through the use of simulation and decision support technologies. Hill has presented at many research and industry conferences and authored a Manufacturing Innovation Blog for NIST entitled "Simulation is a Window into the Future of Your Manufacturing Operation" summarizing the long-term potential that simulation provides in transforming manufacturing operation. He also delivers engineering workshops in topics such as Simulation Modeling and Analysis Using FlexSim and Visual Dashboard Development using Power BI.
Each year, IISE formally recognizes the accomplishments of prominent practitioners for excellence among the industrial and systems engineering community. IISE is the largest, nationally recognized professional association providing leadership and cutting-edge continuing education for the application, education, training, research, and development of industrial and systems engineering.
